Her rating 9.5, mine was a 12, our Clafee is very comfortable with Schwalbe One tires (700 X 25) and latex tubes. For us if it ain't broke don't fix it.
That is a sentiment that I very much agree with. To me a large part of having a happy life is realizing when you are have a good thing and resisting the urge to look for the "new and improved" version. Almost every bike mentioned on this forum is a good bike that a team can enjoy. I have similar feelings about disk brakes. For our riding rim brakes stop well. Disk brakes just fit in that category for me.
If there is a problem then search for a solution. If there is no problem then just enjoy the ride.
